SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. By a letter contained in this day's Journal, it ap pears that Lord Somers has withdrawn his name from the Pitt Club of Herefordshire, because the members in a body are opposed to Catholic Emancipation, to which Mr. Pitt was favourable. We are no great ad mirers of chibs of this kind, which, in truth, need the presence of those whose merits they are meant to com memorate, to restrain the members from committing all kinds of absurdity. Whether Lord Somers was right or wrong in retiring from the Herefordshire Pitt Club, will appear by the answer to the following ques tion :—Would Mr. Pitt himself have belonged to a' club which, a 3 a body, was totally opposed to his views upon one of the most important public questions that presented itself during his life ? It is unneeessa sy to write down the answer to this question ; but it is said that Mr. Pitt might have changed his opinion re specting Catholic Emancipation I Probably he might : persuaded, we suppose, or overpwered, by the argu ments of this Herefordshire Club ! He was, doubt less, of a docile and convincible nature ; and the Here fbrdsh;re Club consists of very wise and eloquent men ! 'Pintos. Our readers will have seen in yesterday's Paper a letter addressed to Mr. Peel, and apparently written by, a lady, upon a subject in which every well-regu lated mind must feel the liveliest interest. At a time when so many reforms have been already made, and many more are contemplated, in our laws, we won der that it does not occur to any of our Legislators to set about the supplial of a defect, which every day shows the necessity of, and the omission of which is scandal to our national character, and to that gal lantry we are so fond of laying claim to. What we anode to is the very little protection which our pre sent penal code affords to the weaker sex against the treacherous arts and seduction, and even, in many in-, stances, the brutal violence of the other. Scarcely a day passes in which we do not hear of crimes of this kind being committed, and the number of them which from their very nature are never heard of at all, nmm be still greater. And not only do crimes of this sort go for the- most part wholly unpunished, but the per petiators of them, if of a higher grade, are generally received into society, not only without any apparent stigma upon their characters, but as if the title of a heartless seducer gave them additional claims to distinc tion, even in the eyes of that sex toward, which their ca reerbf heartless vice has been directed. To-talk of the seduction of a wife or daughter being only a civil in jury—to look upon the despoiler of that innocence which is above all price, as a subject for coldly calcu lated damages—to let the punishment of that which the law calts criminal depend upon evidence which it ie an additional cruelty to call for, are surely defects in our statute book which 4.0 far to falsify its boa recd equality. We know that it is said that these crime, originate, as often as not, in the loose principles, the vicious education, and the artful blandishments of those whose cause we are espousing. # net there may be such instances we do not dog, and the law rightly administered, would readily distinguish them, but we deny that such cases hear any thing like a proportion to those in e'hiclt females of the purest minds and of' the n;ost spotless virtue fall the victims' of designing villaine', around whom the law and the false usages of society, throw a privilege and protection, foreign alike to common sense, right feeling, and decorum. We trust that the present age will have the. honour of wiping out this tiograce ; and while we have laws for the protectimi of wii3 animals, and against cruelty to tame ones, we s h a ll no longer leave those unprotected, or subject to this most bear-rending cruelty, to whom we owe nearly every one of the comforts and blessings of existence, as well as that of existence itself.— Morning. Herald. We observe that Lord Somers has withdrawn him self from a Pitt Club to which he belonged, and that he assigns his opinions on, Catholic Emancipation as the grounds of his secession. He admits, at the same time, the Catholic Question to he one of a very ar duous kind, and we cannot help thinking that, if his Lordship had considered deliberately the nature of the difficulties in which that political problem is involved, he would not have regarded any conclusions which he might conic with respect to it, as a sufficient ground of political separation from those with whom lie agreed in general political opinions. Among those who really understand that question, the difference lies not in principle, but in the conjectures which 'they 11)1.1» concerning the consequences which may be anticipated from a given change of policy. Some tell 113, that the fruit of concesaion will be to unite all parts and all classes of the empire in permanent harmony,, and gra dually to w ea k en an d destroy the Catholic religion, Others (and among them are many of large experience in human life) are convinced that further concession will lead only to more furious and inveterate warfare ; that the very essence of the Catholic religion takes away from its votaries the right of private ,fudges, and impoaes the obligation ofdepriving others of that sacred right, and of claiming exclusive supremacy for their, own creed—that the Catholics, under die influence of their faith, and of their priests and demagogues, will not remain satisfied with the utmost that their warm est advocates have ventured hitherto to demand—that the Protestant Church of Ireland must he surrendered to them, before they can he lured into even a tempo rary truce—and that the only effect of yielding what they now ask, will be to lead to a more, bitter and intequal contest hereafter, unless we are prepared to divorce our monarchy from our faith, and .to declare that the Protestant religion has ceased to sanc tify our Constitutioe, and to he one of its component parts. Whieh of these two sets of con jectures, with respect to the consequences of a given line of policy, will he verified by the result is a point of most difficult solution--and it is one on which past experience affieds no direct aid ; for the hi s t or y of the world furnishes no instance which can show us the effects of the posaessic4l of unmodified political power by a large body of Catholics in an in tegral part of an empire enjoying a free Constituti rm of which a Protestant Church , and a Protestent , mach, are essential parts. Difference on such a question is a difference not so much in politi ca l pr i n . ciple as in political , prophecy. The wisest and best men, though agreeing perfectly in their maxims; and objects, may vary in their conclusions as to the pro bable practical results of certain mea sures. Derr.; it not savour of a somewhat presumptuous confident:e in one's own sagacity to say, So sure am lof the correctness of my conjectures m e with re:spect to the con sequences of_a hitherto untried sche, that I will hold no communion with those who diffisr from me on that point, though I agree with them in every other lead nig political doctrine ?"—New Times. LORD SOMERS AND THE PITT CLUB. Lord Somers has addressed the following letter to James Eyre, Esq., Honorary Secretary of the Here fordshire Pitt Club : -, « Eastnor Castle, Oct., 9.3. cs , recent event imperatively calls upon me to retire: from the Iferefordshire, Pitt. Club; although I um, and shall ever continue, firm ,in my attachment to those principles of the Club which support the Monarchy against republican find levelling s . ystems. I cannot, consistently ~ritli my known and avowed` opinions, continue the member of n Society, wbo, from their late proceedings, appear to be a body his Majeuy'S Ministers are not ) opposed to Catholic Emancipation, a great andarduous measure I acknowledge, but which I judge essential to the good of the State, in order to cement the happy union of Great Britain and Ireland into one consolidated Kingdom and one great public interest. I, therefore, thus publicly desire you, as Honorary Secretary to the Pitt Club, to cause my name to be erased from the documents and records thereof, and to notify to the members of the same at their next meeting such my retirement from among them.

(From the Dunifries Courier, Oct. 24.) . . The 'unfortunate M‘Manus, who was convicted and con demned at our September Circuit, for assaulting and robbing Mr. ,Smnil, on the high read leading to Lockerbv, closed his earthly career On Wednesday last. At 12 o'clock, a considerable number of persons were seen stand ing on both sides of the gaol, and by half-past two the whole of %Menai and a great part. of St. David's-street was 'one dense mass of people. The crowd behaved very . peaceably : pity for the fate of a fellow,creature, who could not be much above 20 years of. age, appeared .to pervade every mind ; though we were sorry to see so many deeently-dressed females present, Mid could not help re gretting that (-otiosity should haVe triumphed over , their bettor feelings. The magistrates assemblod in the Provost's house, and entered the gaol at or about two o'clock. At half-past two ' the Rev. Dr. '..-icott ascended the scaffold, accompanied by the magistrates and some other gentlemen and a portion of : the 27th Paraphrase was read and sung, and after praying very fervently for die space of ten minutes, the reverend gentleman retired, apparently quite overcome by hiss feelings. At this moment M'Manus was brought up, closely followed by his spiritual adviser, who been unceasing in his efforts to guide him aright; an w;thout pausing or looking round, both, ascended the fatal platform. .We Should • 'OW, however that M'Mantia was ready to leave his cell before the tievo dons bad been ,coualusloti .o,n the scaffold, and that on finding his exit '.opposest .by the temporary absenee of the gaoler, he knocked violently against the under door. His feelings at this time appear to have been wound up to the highest pitch ; he was anxious, if we may GO express it, to die, and ran rather th4;i walked across the court-Nertl. The prisoner's face was a little flushed, and his frame, at times, slightly convulsed ; but his step was firm notwithstanding, and altogether he displayed a high degree of forthude. '"hough his aims were pinioned, the motions of his head and hands indi cated what was passing within. Yet the prayers put up, and the responses made were uttered in so low a tone of voice, that neitha,lt may be said, were heard on earth, although both, we trust, were recorded and accepted in heaven. After a brief space thus spent, the prisoner knelt Clown, while the Rev. Mr. Lee continued standing and pray ing over This part of the ceremony WO very affect ing., and still more so the scene which followed, Every thing being ready, the tap and rope were finally adjusted ? the signal given, the prop which supports the drop with. drawn, and the prisoner launched into eternity. Alniest simultaneously, the Rev. Mr. Lee tiroOppl on his knees, in which position he remained for five or six minutes, his hands uplifted, and his eyes dosed, and so near the now, suspended criminal, that he could, , And ,we believe, did, touch the body, by extending' his min: An exhibition so unusual, under circumstances so trying, , was not without its effect upon the crowd. To ;AU appearance, APManue's sufferings were lOng and Severe.' Being of a sleotier make, no dislocation of : the peek rook place; the noose shifted as the drop fell, and cited, we understand, on the lower part of his bend ; tile rope, in this way, was imperfectly tightened, and his frame was very violently ainvulsed for six or seven minutes. Before retiring from the prism), t h a Rev. Mr. Lee thanked the Provost for the humanity anti khuhiess shown to M'Manint, and, ,as a last fUvour, requested that his friends and relations might have the use of the old J"11" room, where they intended to lay out Dud wake the body. This request was readily grunted, and it is but fair to odd, that the Provost, and Magistrates wail deserved the.com. Aliment paid to them. - The jailer, too, and his wife, were unwearieti in their, attentions to the unhappy youth, and of this he was so sensible that he took every opportunity Of expressing his gratittl. Our readers are - aware , that when a Protestant is executed, thu,,officiatiog chegYina n peep with and for hint on the scaffold. Such devotions might no deubt be conducted priVately, but as criminals are eXVelltell for the Nike, of example, it is certainly wise j , " l 6 l ol,, lnhiZU as fat us passible, the awftd warning.whieh out to others.

The practice of howling, though common in some parts of Ire land, was altogether dispensed with here; and M'Manus's mother, at the command of the Priest, restrained her feel ings in,a wonderful .degree. Up to nine - o'clock, many of the Irish residing in Dumfries :visited the gaol for a short time ; but a that hour all were excluded, excepting 20 persons, who wished to sit up all night. The two Catho lics wholiad previously assisted the Rev: M. Lei, occa sionally prayed for a few minutes; spirits of some kind were then handed round, and this, as we understand the matter, constituts-Al the whole ceremony of waking. The funeral; which took place at three o'clocic on Thursday, was attended by about 40 Irishmen, all dressed in their Sunday's clothes, and followed by a large concourse ul children. On the day of his execution, M'Manus was decently dressed in a-suit of black clothes, given him for the occa sion, and, on the Tuesday night preceding, he had a most affecting interview with his mother, brothers, cousin, and a young woman from Glasgow, to: whom he was either married or attached. The scene was of a most trying and harrowing nature. The prisoner himself neve r shed a tear, but all the other parties were violently agitated, not ex cepting the Rev: Mr. Lee, who, we believe, did all for M'Manus that it is possible for one man to do for another. OLD BAILEY; TIIURSPAY, OCT. '26. HIGHWAY ROBBERY. Francis,Rd.eson, aged 20, was-. indicted for assaulting Ann Saunders on the . highway, putting her in bodily fear, and stealing from her person 3s. in.money, and some lace and net, her *perry, Proiecutrix stated, that on the 26th of last month, she Was returning at half-past eight ut the evening, from Hol born to Kentish -town, by the roiid at the back of Camden , town. She was met by the Wisoner, , who said, "Your money or your life." She said. the had no money. He replied the had, and must give it: He then snatched a bundle from her hand. He then said she had money, and she must give it, or he would . kill, her, and saying this, he threw out a large knife, like a butcher's. Ho then forced open her hand, and F ot 34. which she held in it. He caught hold of her with both hands, blit. then let her go, and. did her no harm, She saw the prisoner in the lock up-house two days after, and immediately knew him among several • other prisoners. Ile had on when she first saw him a sailor's jacket and trousers and a top coat. He had dark hair coming over hie forehead and face, and it looked like whiskers. His hair was now cut Abort. • She was positive the prisoner was the man who robbed her. • A fellow-servant of last witness, who met her on that evening, and whom she told of the robbery, corroborated her account as to the description given of the prisoner. Two officers, to whom the prosecutrix had given a de scription of the man that robbed her, stated, that having heard that a man was in custody answering the description she had given, they took her to where the prisoner WM, and she immediately pointed him out as the man. Prisoner, in his defence, denied that he \vas the man, and asserted that the officer had first pointed him out to the prosecutrix, who then said she would swear to him. A mastership-carpenter, residing at Blackwell, had known the prisoner 18 months. He made a voyage to and from India with him as a caulker's mate, in which capacity he conducted himself to his own great credit, and the satis faction of all who knew him. Ile always wore his hair a s it now appeared (cut short), and never wore whiskers since witness knew him. Another witness who sailed in the Bitekinghanuthire, along with prisoner, also gave him a good character. William Francis Harding, the prisoner's brother-in-law, stated that prisoner came to his house at Hoxton, on the 26th of September (the day, of the robbery) ; prisoner came about three o'clock ; he remained there till tea at six, after which hour witness left. He returned at ten. Prisoner was gone when witness came back. His wife told him told him that he had gone out at nine. The ,wife. of last witness,stated, that her brother carn►• on the 26th to her house, at Hoxton ; her husband and and a Mrs. Prummond.were ►resent when he came. lie remained till nine o'clock. Her husband-went nut at six, after ten, and came home at ten., .1 40 ,hionter wore on that dey the *an.: clreeK that be i►ae Ott flow; but witness never heard of his having worn a shag great coat. Harding, having been recalled, gave the same account of the prisoner's dress on that day. Mrs. Drummond, at whose house the last witness and his wife lived, remembered the day when prisoner came. She could not say whether the witness (Mr. Harding) was present when he came. She believed he was, but went out soon after. She was positive he did Tlot remain for tea. (The last witness and his wife said quite the contrary.) They had tea at five. Mr. Justice Nita. summed up tivo evidence with great Minuteness commenting on. the inconsistency in the'evi. dance for the defence, and . The Jury, after deliberating some time, having part of the evidence for the defence repeated to Nem, and having had Mrs.. Drummond recalled, who stated, that on recol. leetion she thought Mr. Harding had taken tea with them on the 26th, remitted a verdict of Guilty. The prosecutrix begged to recommend the prisoner t o mercy on the ground that he had not ill-used her. The Jury also concurred in this recommendation on the same ground, and likewise on that of the prisoner's good character. _ _ The itIDGESItid that certainly the recommendation should be laid before his Majesty. John Brown, a boy 13 years of age, was convicted of picking pockets, and the Court in consideration of his being a known thief, sentenced him to be transported for years. No other case deny interest occurred during the evening. NEW COURT. John traterm, agitd 55 was indicted fur stealing a gold ring from the•person of , if/L:1.

The prisoner was acquitted. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS, OCT. 2G. This being County-day, the Court was occupied during the greater part of it in hearing parish appeals, of no manner of interest. The bench presented an unusually numerous•attendance of magistrates. WIHTE•CONDUIT HOUSE. Mr. ALLRY presented a petition from the proprietors of . White-Conduit-house, praying for a renewal of their licence. It was signed by several inhabitants of the neighbourhood. A counter-petition was presented from another portion of the inhabitants, stating, that in consequence of these premises having last season been converted into what was called a New Vauxhall, the place had become a perfect nuisance on the nights termed gala nights, on which fire works were let off, and masquerades took place, which were the scene of every species of vice, obscenity, and blasphemy; and music, dancing, and disorder, prevailed until five or six o'clock next morning. Mr. ALLEY said, that there had been but one masquerade, and the proprietors had determined never to allow another. Several of the counter-petitioners urged the great an noyance produced in the neighbourhood by the late hour to which the music and dancing were kept up. Mr. Mason said, that he had the management of the music, and had never allowed it to continue after two o'clock in the morning. —(A laugh.)—ln reply to a ques tion from the Chairman, Mr. Mason said that the gardens bad been underlet to him.' The CHAIRMAN observed, that that being the case, the Court could not renew the licence. Mr. ADOLPHUS, in support of the petition, observed that Mr. Mason's interest had terminated. He remem bered the period when White Conduit House used to be cried about the streets, and at that time the premises in question were tea-gardens, to which people used to go from town to enjoy themselves. If persons subsequently chose to go and, build houses around those gardens,. that was no reason why they should now be allowed to have that property destroyed, because they did not happen to relish a squeak of a fiddle. They did not assert that any riots took place there. Mr. BARRY, on the same side, observed that not only did the counter-petitioners refrain from stating that any riots occurred there, but the petitioners expressly swore that none had taken place. Mr. ROGERS (of hatton-garden) assured his brother Magistrates that the gardens had last summer become a perfect nuisance: Mr. ADOLPHUS observed, that even if that were the case, the Court might impose terms of restraint, without destroying the property by withholding the licence. _ _ The counter-petitioners said, that they had no objection to the house being licensed, they only complained of the gala-nights and the fireworks., General Thornton remarked, that the proprietors might he restrained from keepinglate hours, or letting off fireworks. A counter-petitioner assured the Court that his property had been greatly " detoriated'—(laughter)—by the pro (ading* in these gimlet's. The ettAtumme observed, that the . only person who ap peared,' as seelthi L 4 ter the beetice, was n Mt. Mason, to whom the.gartleni were under-let. Mr. ADOLPHUS repeated, that Mr. Mason's interest had terminated with the late season. The Learned Counsel then obtained leave for the case to stand over for a few minutes, whilst the proprietors were sent for. Mr. Warren upon coming into Court stated, that he was lessee of the premises, and expressed his regret at having let the gardens to Mr. Mason last season for a new Vaux hall. That gentleman's interest, however, having expired with the season, he would never let them agent to any body, and would conform to any regulations which the Court would 'prescribe. Ultimately, upon Mr. Warren'e promising that the place should in future be conducted as it had always been prior to last season, and that the music should cease at half-past eleven o'clock, and no masquerades or fire-works take place there any, more, the objection was withdrawn and the licence granted. Mr. ALLEY applied for a renewal of the licenses for the Argyll Rooms and Bagnigge Wells.—Granted. The Learned Counsel then presented a petition from the proprietor of the Gun Tafern, Pimlico, praying for a licence for music and assemblies. It was signed by the clergyman, overseers, and churchwardens, as well as other respectable inhabitants of the parish. The CHAIRBIAN, besides other objections, :urged ; that as the premises in question, as well as the other houses in that neighbourhood, were expected shortly to be pulled down, the only effect of granting that licence here applied for, would be, to enhance the price of them_ when they would come to be estimated.—Application refused. The COURT renewed the licences of the Adeiphi Theatre, upon the applieution of. Mr. ADOLPHUS ; of the English Opera House, and two, other places, upon the application of Mr. BTtur.lN9 ; and of Sadler's Wells, the Toy, at Hampton Conrt, the Angel, at.

The sides, iof the room are ornamented with ionic columns, the shafts lot' which are executed. in scagliola, in imitation of Sienna marble, and the capitals are white, in imitation of white marble. The ceiling is of rather a novel description : its peculiarity consists in its be* slightly curved, the curve being formed across the breadth of the apartment; it 15, moreover, ornamented in the most splendid, and, at the , me time, chaste manner. • An elegant . lantern has been laced in the centre, which, in conjunction with the win ows at the sides of the room, affords an abundance of, light. Upon the whole, this is one of the finest rooms the metropolis can at present boast of, and is well suited to the 'dignity which is attached to his Majesty's PEN' Council, which will sit here to decide on appeals from the subordinate tribunals of the ELst and 'West Indies.
